what the hell - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

is s-off s-on

An S-Off phone is an open phone. Allows you to write, change and access the root to your phone, as well as installing custom ROM´s..

thanks

S-On also allows this, however neither the radio nor kernel can be flashed in CWM, therefore usually the boot.img has to be flashed separately via fastboot after a ROM flash. Some roms manage to flash this automatically at first boot however. The HTC One is currently S-On only.

So if you're rooted it's scoff is that right

I don't think so. From how I understand it, you can be rooted and still be either s-on OR s-off. The difference is that s-off allows you to flash radios and kernels directly through recovery whereas if you're s-on, you have to flash them through fastboot, as the last guy to reply stated.

At the moment, the only form of root is unlocked s-on. So if you decide to go that route, you're gonna be flashing the boot.img after you flash a rom and no firmware updates (radio)

I believe the dev version has s-off

S-OFF allows you to flash unsigned firmware packages through the bootloader.

Just run a stock ruu .exe from the shipped roms collection thread in development.
That will return you to s-on.
Not so. I flashed an RUU the other day, and although it flashed back to a stock recovery, the Revolutionary hboot image remained.

Well you are in a different situation because you used revolutionary.
Revolutionary was designed in such a way that running ruu's would not affect the hboot.

So, what is the recommended way to root if Revolutionary can't be undone by running an RUU?

There is a way to completely undo Revolutionary. Just search this forum, it's been documented and posted here before.
Is Revolutionary the best root method these days?
I just got mine back from repair (noisy earpiece). I ran the ruu before I sent it back to CPW but left it S-off'd, as it was an xtc clip job. I don't think CPW even checked, as no charge for the repair. It came back re flashed to stock but still S-off'd.
So a stock ruu is flashed just like any other rom?

Also, which ruu is for virgin mobile canada? Sorry I'm new to this all and it gets confusing, after I return to the ruu can I re root my phone after servicing?
You can downgrade your hboot then flash the ruu it will update your phones hboot and get it back to stock s-on

Flashing ROMs for Incredible S

Can someone tell the definitive way to flash a rom on my phone? http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
Should I unlock my phone via htcdev.com and flash custom ROM's? (what exactly is the difference between S-OFF and S-ON?)
OR
Should I follow this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705913
but the problem is that the Asian version has problems getting root access using alpharevx's method.
Can someone confirm if the Revolutionary method works on the Indian Incredible S?
Also what is a gold card?
Depends on your hboot version.
the link you posted gives you most of the information required.
s-off means security off and s-on is security on..
s-off gives you easier ability to flash roms and recoverys.
do a bit of reading around in the forum and you'll find almost all the answers you need
No offense but I read a lot but the only thing I'm confused about is the Indian version not being able to root as stated in the OP.
My hboot version is 2.00

With HBOOT 2.00, you have 2 options.
Option 1 is to downgrade your mainver and then install a GB RUU that has HBOOT 1.13 and then you can use Revolutionary to gain true S-OFF. This is the best option IMO.
Option 2 is to unlock your bootloader using HTCDEV.com and admit to HTC that you are modding your phone. Once you are unlocked, you can flash a custom recovery that will allow you to flash custom, rooted ROMs.
If I use the second method, will I be able to flash all custom RIMs?

Yes but every time you flash a ROM, you will manually have to extract the boot.img file from the ROM's zip file and then flash it in FASTBBOT USB mode using the command fastboot flash boot [boot.img]
That is why I prefer Option 1 and true S-OFF. You won't have to do that extra step each time.
If you decide to unlock your bootloader from HTC Dev then you must use the custom roms boot.img to install custom roms.
(From what i have read, please correct me if im wrong)
If you decide to S-OFF your device you do not need to obtain the boot.img if you want to flash that rom.
I decided to go the S-OFF route because not all the roms that are developed support S-ON.
If you have HBOOT 2.0 then you will need to (like tpbklake said)
downgrade your mainver and then install a GB RUU that has HBOOT 1.13 and then you can use Revolutionary to gain true S-OFF.

[Q] How to downgrade HTC One Developer Edition (US) from firmware 1.29.1540.17 to 1.2

Hello,
I have been researching here to find a way to downgrade to a previous version of a firmware so that I can S-Off, and to no avail unsure how to do it myself using either use Moonshine or revone.
The reason I wish to do this is that I want to install Google Play edition and of course the necessary info to install it.

If I'm not mistaken the ROM firmware is irrelevant as to if you can root or not, or get-S-OFF. The most important factor for S-OFF is the bootloader version. I haven't seen any threads about getting S-OFF on bootloader 1.54.
Reboot to your bootloader (turn device off, hold volume down and turn device on). Check your HBOOT version there. If it says 1.54, then the only possible solution is to search for an official HTC RUU with a lower HBOOT version. However I do not know if this will actually work.

Don't really know what you mean by reflash? Returning to the newer HBOOT (1.54)?
If that's the case, once you're S-OFF you can update the HBOOT to 1.54 and S-OFF will still be there. There are some threads in the development section about upgrading the HBOOT. I used these myself without issues.
As for the official RUU, this will probably be a Google search. I haven't seen a thread around with these files.
Keep in mind that flashing an original RUU will result in loss of root and custom recovery. You will need to re-root after flashing the RUU and reflash a custom recovery.

I was s-off with stock unrooted locked 2.24.401.1 firmware (ruu'ed by repair center)and tried to use revone to unlock again but it would fail, then I downgraded to hboot 1.44 (I could still do this because I was s-off already) but revone would still fail, then I decided to properly downgrade to 1.28(or was that 29).401.?? with an ruu and was able to use revone again to unlock my bootloader, so hboot is not the only factor for revone to be succesful...
downgrading hboot and other system partitions, except kernel rom radio and recovery, is not possible if you are not s-off already....

S-OFF is not needed for root or custom recovery. You do need an unlocked bootloader though. On other devices S-OFF was needed to flash radio's or kernels through recovery, but from what I have read the One can flash kernels in recovery without S-OFF

So I have gotten TWRP on there, however I have been unable to flash a previous firmware, to downgrade, getting the error message, Unable to open zip. My guess is that S-On is stopping this process even in a custom recovery. Is there a recommendation as to how I can achieve S-Off?
Also There is something I have been thinking about it, and if I were to follow the steps here, with execption of the flashing the RUU through fasboot, could I flash the RUU through TWRP instead?
[Edit] Could I install a custom ROM, S-Off through the ROM, then follow the steps in the link to flash the RUU?

No no no!
Get the 1.28.401.7 RUU, connect the phone in fastboot and run the RUU (it's an EXE). It will then flash it back to stock BUT you will not be able to return it to Three as they will see it's not the branded Three ROM and reject the claim
If you just want to use the phone again you'll be good to go as it will be stock - best to change the CID to HTC__001 before flashing the RUU too IMO

I guess so, what version are u on now? If you've updated firmware to 2.24 then your touchscreen drivers have been updated and won't work with 1.28 backup.
You'll have to use an OTG with mouse, after restoring 1.28 backup, to receive updated OTA in order for touchscreen to work again.

Did you restore the backup or did you run the RUU?
If you restored the backup, then you also need to restore stock recovery.
Don't forget to change your CID back to what it needs to be (depending on what RUU you used or backup you restored)
And finally you'll have to lock your bootloader "fastboot oem lock"
Keep S-Off !!

Thanks for coming back, i am really pissed off.
So i run the RUU and installed but I didn't change the CID.
Now i have super cid, 1.28, android 4.1.2 and bootloader relocked. What i understand now is that the Cid should have been changed to match the RUU but i didn't do that.
So now been trying to unlock the bootloader again with the original .bin but that isn't working. Do i have to go back to Htc dev and get another .bin file because the CID has changed?
After that flash recovery, root, change CID and flash the matching RUU???

Did you already try using the unlock code.bin file to unlock the bootloader again?

Sadly not, wiped my laptop with all my backups unlock tokens etc , have a new laptop now so had to start from scratch, I have no issues with adb or fastboot they are working as they should.
When I try to generate unlock token it just says in cmd waiting for device and it will stick for 20 mins easy so tearing my hair out at the mo
If your s off (you said u had a modified hboot) you should just be able to fastboot oem unlock ??

tried this, also tried relock and lock. When I try unlock it gives error same as relock.
But when I try to type in lock the return message is already locked.
tried flashing 2 europe RUU's in the RUU Bootloader screen (silver HTC Screen) and it keep saying error at signature verification.
Tried the unlock token route again but I get a message from HTCdev thas at the token is an invalid amount
There are adb commands you can use to unlock and lock the bootloader when you are s off. Maybe if you try using one of the temp root options. There are some guides on this site

Right so I have tried previous mentioned possible routes without any luck.
Here is my information

I cannot S-OFF, TRIED RUMRUNNER, FIREWATER and a few other methods but i am totally stuck here. adb and fastboot commands work until signature verification then it fails.
Well if the temp root plus those commands didn't work I think you really are screwed unfortunately

So the news for today is, I have still yet to find a solution for this strange 1.57 HBOOT problem.
No matter what I try RUU or adb/fastboot commands Im getting signature verification failure each time, the strange thing is I know I'm missing something but cannot put my finger on it to make it right, its one of those silly basic things.
The phone on the other hand works perfectly normal as it should but would like to get back to 100% stock for warranty issue.
LOOKS LIKE I AM SCREWED ROYALLY
Ooooobiiii dooooo,
I wanna be like yoooo hooo hooo.
Yes that is the sound of the voice inside my head is singing.

Thought I would give the HTCdev token a go again a lo and behold I am now unlocked wooooopwoooooop
time to downgrade from pesky 1.57HBOOT
Cheers for the help anyway peeps
It's funny how doing the same thing again and again even if you don't do anything different works sometimes

I know mate had an issue logging into HTC dev for 30 mins then all of a sudden i managed to login again got my token, unlocked bootloader, flashed custom recovery, rooted, s-off and im now flashing skydragon xperia edition 1.7.
Once All that is sorted I will be downgrading HBOOT, unroot, lock hboot and restore back to stock.
Seems like a long way around but might as well do it correctly.
I GOT THERE IN THE END LOLOLOLOL:highfive:
